madam president i yield the floor. >>> that being senate minority leader mitch mcconnell talking about the deal that it appears is about to be voted on on the floor of the united states senate. to give you a recap of what was said, it appears that the bill will fund the government, end the shutdown, and fund the government until january 15th, which takes us through the holiday season. as far as the default deadline, that would be avoided and it would be extended until february 7th. sequestration also appears to have been part of the equation as well, and i'm going to ask libby casey as to whether or not the budget control act is the equivalent of those draconian cuts that became known as sequestration. checking the numbers right now, wall street has been ahead of the story all day. right now the dow continues to be up 190 points. that is off of its highs earlier in the session, but it appears that wall street has been confident that the situation in washington would resolve it's a, and in fact that appears to be what we are seeing on the floor of the united states senate right now, whi

that is why you like mitch mcconnell. when a democrat praises mitch mcconnell, that has a lot to do with why we don't like him. that cake that was disgusting. as far as ted cruz, ted cruz is the best thing that has ever happened to the tea party. he is a man of honor. he ran on his word and said he was going to try to stop obamacare, and he did. we are tired of the corruption, the backroom deals. the good old boys get what they want. ted cruz is what this party should be about. host: brian walsh, teresa was talking about a kickback for mitch mcconnell. can you explain? guest: there was no kickback. you are talking about a project to keep commerce flowing on the ohio river. it would save taxpayers in the long term. two senators put in the bill, neither of them were mitch mcconnell. it has no basis in fact. host: how tough is his election right now? what is tougher, the primary or the general election? guest: i do not think either will be a problem for him. when i look at the two republican senators who lost in the last cyc

so lemar alexander gave mitch mcconnell an alibi. it wasn't mitch, he was at my house that night. i was the one, coincidentally not up for re-election or a primary challenge, who stuck the pork in there. of course, mitch mcconnell and leid wrote the text of this bill together. and even though mcconnell's office said he played no role in securing the language, if mcconnell didn't want it, it would not have been in there. all of that said, i an happy to see 27 republicans in the house voting for an infrastructure project that creates jobs. now, if we could just rustle up votes for the bill that president obama presented in march of this year for the nation's crumbling infrastructure, we'd be getting somewhere. ♪ vicks dayquil powerful non-drowsy 6-symptom cold & flu relief. ♪ no matter what city you're playing tomorrow...

mitch mcconnell and harry reid are currently in discussions. there are rumors circulating that a deal is in. we could have some kind of resolution. but you sit across people in the house who, as you know, are determined to oppose the president on everything. so what are the likelihood, what is the likelihood that something passes before the deadline this week? >> martin, it's time for the moderate republicans, and i'll talk to a number of them, who say that their conference is divided and they really want to pass a bill that will be a clean cr, and raise the debt ceiling. it's time for them to really stand and be as loud as the tea parties are. and so i'm hopeful that speaker boehner will put country over party policies and politics and say that he's going to put this vote to the floor. because it will pass. there's a majority of votes now to pass. now, my hope as a backstop that those same individuals, moderate republicans, 200 democrats have already signed a motion to discharge petition, which will compel the vote to go to the floor of the ho
